For a smaller porch, use hanging plants or vertical planters
- The painting doesn’t end here, your exterior door is prone to wear from direct sunlight, so grab some paint and add a fresh coat, but this time don’t do what everyone else is doing. Make your door an accent color. Think of red, green, blue. Don’t let your door be a bore.

- Natural Stone Pavers: these are the most popular ones in this category as they emanate a natural look. These are also the most expensive.
- Brick Pavers: Using brick gives your property an ‘old world’ feel, which may be suitable for some but not for others.
